Seaview Mansion: A Pet-Friendly Retro Apartment in Okinawa's Ginowan City
Critical agent notes specify that this is a pet-friendly property, subject to a one-time pet sanitation fee of 50,000 yen. Importantly, this is a fixed-term rental contract (定期借家) because the building is scheduled for demolition. As a result, the lease is only available until the end of August 2027. The apartment is described as a popular retro-style building, meeting high demand for pet-allowed accommodations. It is situated near Ginowan Hills Street, an area lined with numerous restaurants and eateries.
The location in the Shinjō 2-chome district of Ginowan is highly convenient. It is just a 3-minute walk from the Shinjō bus stop, a 4-minute walk from Ginoza Municipal Futenma Second Elementary School, and a mere 2-minute walk from Ginoza Municipal Futenma Junior High School. The property is also noted as being close to Shinryu Hospital. Initial costs are detailed, including a monthly rent of 40,000 yen plus a 1,000 yen management fee. Other move-in costs include a one-time安心サポート fee of 1,100 yen, and monthly fees for a guarantee association, fire insurance, antibacterial treatment, and lock replacement. One parking space is available for free, though its availability is subject to consultation.
The area of Ginowan is a vibrant part of central Okinawa. An interesting fact about Ginowan is that it is home to the Okinawa Convention Center, a major venue for international events, which sits dramatically on a cliff overlooking the ocean. For tourists and residents alike, a major nearby landmark is the iconic Zanpa Misaki (Cape Zanpa), a beautiful cape with a famous lighthouse located a short drive away in Yomitan Village, offering stunning coastal views and a popular sunset spot.
